Basics....

I’ve not tried a heating pad (I assume it’s a plug in pad?) and probably won’t try one as I have/like the IR, but it sounds like a good idea! I know IR lamps are not readily available in some countries, so a plug in pad makes sense.

Great work! Thanks for posting this.

A plug in pad, yes. Does the job, but I think IR lamps are more effective in heating the whole area properly.

Having read through this, I’m fairly convinced that I will never clamp in my PE career. It just seems that the injury potential is not worth it, at least for me. I suppose my mind may change, and I’ll admit I need to read up more on it, but just the idea has always somewhat unnerved me.

firegoat, I am so happy you started this thread. A thread that will help many.

Thanks for the valuable contribution tnt!

Yes, mindset is very important. I did a thread a little while ago for those interested in mindset: Subliminal PE. Try it!

I am glad you both are here.

Just read that firegoat. So true. I am going to paste that post here. You are right on my friend. I am so excited with this thread. Jenny read this as well and she says thia is one of the best threads she has read in years.

Sorry firegoat, my posst were removed from here. I was PM’d on that. No big deal. I had asked some of the vets to contribute as well to what could have been something huge here in your thread. you started something that many need to know. You brought light to a lot. and these guys just don’t get it and you and I have been saying for years. I know my friend that you are a great mentor and have not only helped me but you have guided so many. You have been a friend and a mentor and I thank you for so much, but more for our friendship.

To all have read this, this is the guy to pay attention to, you must know that, He is level headed on all the subject matters. he has insight with this PE stuff as I do and we both know, it is not as difficult as you all think or make it to be. Listen to this guy. He helped me a long time ago.

Subliminal PE, yes. I am sure it works and here is how I know it.

A long time ago I was talking to a coroner, I don’t know if I wrote it right, cause my english suck, you know, the guy that cuts open bodies to determine the cause of death.

He said that he has seen a few cases in which death shouldn’t have occured, cause the nature of the wounds wasn’t of that kind to cause death. Soft tissue was injured, in cases of stabbings, no vital organ was punctured at all and the guys were ending up dead in the table.

He said, that bleeding wasn’t the case and pretty much death occured due to shock. In plain words the guys believed that they will die and died when they could easily have lived. 90% of all cases were multiple stabbings in which the amount of pain the victim goes through is high.

Yes, this sounds and is creepy, but for me proved that if you actually believe in something it can easily happen. Your body will follow your mind.

Really needed this. Went on holiday recently, so no PE for a few weeks, and I lost the girth I had gained recently which is infuriating considering it was the first girth gains I had made in years.

I’ve been doing the newbie routine for a few months now. Started thinking about clamping for girth, just yesterday. Instead, I’m going to focus on extending the length of time.

Thank you!

A very well-written piece FG.

Totally agree with this; its been tough trying to find something to work with my very unique work schedule/ environment and transportation needs - loading up a luggage bag with Dumbbells for PE hanging is something I would suggest the rest of the ship to avoid.

I’m sure you have likely been asked this a ten thousand times but I thought.8” BPEL x 6” Mid Girth was considered the “perfect” size.. Perhaps woman’s weekly, woman’s health and Cosmo played up these measurements but your thoughts and the rest of the ship would be appreciated :)

Cheers!
